Five Reasons to Love Orchids This Valentine’s Day

There's no time like today to spread the love and there is more to a beautiful bouquet of

flowers than what meets the eye. For centuries, flowers have been used as a means of expressing romantic sentiments and are symbolic of a beautiful, lasting relationship between two people.

Luckily, for this day dedicated to expressing your devotion and admiration there is a better option than cut flowers, choose orchids that will last all year! Delicate and graceful, orchids are a symbol of luxury, love, strength and beauty. 

Here are five reasons Espoma thinks you should give orchids a chance this Valentines’ Day.

Happy Valentine's Day Gardeners!

Valentine's Day Gift Idea

I just love giving live plants for any special occasion, so I was so excited when our friends at Costa Farms introduced this amazing hybrid called Pick Me Pink just in time to celebrate Valentine's Day. 

By the looks of her, you might think she's a poinsettia, but she's actually a euphorbia hybrid produced from crosses between the poinsettia and other euphorbia species.

This stunning annual has almost fluorescent pink petals with a pale edge, which make this not only a wonderful gift for your sweetheart, but a lovely addition to your Valentine’s Day décor as well.

I know I'll be on the hunt for one of these! For more info and care tips, visit Costa Farms.
